You are right ladybug, not arguing that point. We do re-elect the same ones. Because not enough people are willing to blast their own candidates after they elect them. We have to hold them accountable.

Ladybug, I am not disagreeing with you. This is what Congress has become. It's about the power. I promise you, show me a Republican doing the same thing and I will tear him or her up just the like the rest. This is why we can't get progress moving in this country. That party affiliation game is blistering us badly. We the people, need to get into the center of the aisle and start stomping on our politicians regardless of party. We are losing this country.

In 1999, Moran drew attention for taking personal loans from a friend who was a drug-company lobbyist. He got another loan three years later from the co-founder of America Online. The Washington Post reported in 2002 that Moran received favorable terms on a home-refinancing package from MBNA as he backed a bankruptcy reform bill supported by the credit card industry. Moran was not charged with wrongdoing in those instances.

Now you know why Moran is trying to rip us off!

The guy is a weasel and loved by his constituents. Moran’s district, which includes Arlington County, Alexandria, Falls Church and a portion of Fairfax County, is overwhelmingly Democratic, delivering 68 percent of the vote to President Obama in 2012.

Sorry Ladybug, I know you don't want politics in this but this weasel's actions is why we ALL get screwed over. He is looking out for his own interests and not ours.

In 1999, his second wife — Moran has divorced three times — called police after a domestic dispute, although no charges were filed. The next year, Moran got into a heated argument with an 8-year-old boy whom Moran accused of trying to steal his car keys; the incident made national news.

Moran has also had personal financial troubles. A former stockbroker, Moran lost roughly $120,000 from trades and bad investments in the mid-1990s and went into significant debt. During their divorce, his second wife accused him in court papers of “wasting the family assets on his stock market gambling.”

Moran was an active trader again in the mid-2000s, with assets owned by his wealthy third wife. After their 2010 separation and eventual divorce, his financial situation changed significantly. His most recent financial disclosure report, covering 2012, shows him to be one of the least wealthy members of Congress, with no assets other than a money-market account worth $15,000 or less.
